What do you guys use? And what do you think of it?

I just picked up this canon backpack (Canon - Deluxe Backpack for Canon SLR Digital Cameras - 200EG). My first impressions are that it keeps your lenses and camera(s) secure and its well padded. Also has a lot of little pockets and compartments for other things along with straps on the bottom for a tripod. A couple things I dont like about it is that it's a little awkward to wear, the shoulders straps are kinda stiff so it feels like the it's not sitting correctly on your back. Overall it's a great alternative to fanny packs and those bags you wear around your neck.


I bought mine at best buy for $80

I'm kind of hoping to start this into a carrying bag review thread for those who are looking.

 

Here's mine. It's my first bag and I'm pretty happy with it. I found it at Wolf Camera for $50. It's a little small, but it's all I really need (for now). It has adjustable, velcro sections and various, small, zippered sections as well. Seems to be a high-quality bag.

 

Nice bag knight, is it 'just for girls' to?

EG, that seems pricey for that size bag lol.

hmmm, seems like camo's the way to go.

 

its a decent size bag. I have the same one. it could be better weather sealed for the rain though. For the price its not bad, I think I paid $60 for mine though, I guiess the price went up. A lot of other companies are pricey, $150 for a backpack.

 

I paid $60 for it on Amazon. It's adequate for what I need: weather sealed zipper around the camera body portion, room for six lenses (I actually keep 4 lenses, 1 speed light and my cokin filters in the lens portion), room on each side for random accessories and even a space for a laptop (which I never use).

I wish the lens portion was weather sealed, other than that I'm pretty happy. Also, I've forgotten to fasten the lens portion before... luckily it has always been brought to my attention before any of my lenses fell out.

 

I like yours 94, that laptop space would be perfect for me. I might have to look into that one when I get my Rebel.

I just noticed that before I even knew what a Rebel DSLR was, I used RebelGFX for my design/photography logo. Tell me that wasnt meant to be

 

It would be funnier if you were dead set on some other camera... like a K10D or soemthing.
